For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough. Don't overbake the bars, as they will become dry. They should be pale golden brown. Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Jun 12, 2025A great recipe! I didn't have cinnamon sugar so I just used regular sugar and cinnamon and it worked great.

May 29, 2025I found that chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helped to prevent the bars from spreading too much.
